Uppers

There are so many opportunities to learn things that is not typical in classroom coursework. You have the ability to see the full view of what your job entails and how it works in a greater system. You also get to learn about other people's jobs and makes you a well-rounded employee. Additionally, you get to meet some of the movers and shakers of the company (and possibly the industry) as a student, which is important to building your network.

Downers

I work in the field office, and we have intern events in Denver (an hour away). Sometimes these events are three times a week and it makes it hard to be productive.

Advice to Potential Interns

Everyone here is very friendly and teamwork is imperative to getting your work done. You are expected to reach out for help and learn as much as you can.
